Isabel's first talk

Yesturday afternoon we came home to a message on our machine "reminding" us about Isabel's talk today. We were thrilled that she got an opportunity to speak, but disappointed that we could not practice all week. (As an adult, I could practice my talk non-stop until I needed to give it... however a three year old will only practice so much in one day.) Anyway, it turned out great. I showed her pictures that would serve as an outline and remind her of what to say. We wondered if she would get up in front of all the primary kids and just be too nervous to say anything, but that was not the case. She spoke out in a good voice. She was kinda fidgety during her talk and I just thought it was because she was nervous. But, on the last picture as she was telling the story of Moses and the poisonous serpents, she turned and told me she needed to go potty. So, she ended abruptly and we made it out in time. It was just too cute and funny though. We told her what a great job she did and she said it was so fun and she didn't think it was scary. We had company for dinner and she wanted to do her talk for them. We had the idea to have her do it for the website as well. We especially dedicate this post to grandmas and grandpas who we know would have loved to be there!
